Thrift on Woodlawn to open at Lincoln and Woodlawn

Ablah started in the commercial real estate business with his father, the late George Ablah, 35 years ago.

The elder Ablah had his son handle leasing at two of his buildings, one of which — the Eastridge center at the northeast corner of Lincoln and Woodlawn — Jeff Ablah recently purchased from another owner.

“It kind of meant something since it was my dad’s at one point,” he says.
